What on earth did you expect to talk about that you couldn't broach in front of a 15 year old? Your swinging proposition? Your binges? Your new sex tape?

Teens are developmentally ready to talk with adults. I have an 18 year old in college and a 13 year old - they can talk and opine about current events, and they're mature enough to hear about personal struggles (sanitized for the 13 year old). When he was 15, my son would often hang out with the adults, because we have a social circle where he has always been the oldest. So unless his friends were there, he would gravitate towards us, listen nonchalantly and interject perfectly appropriate comments or questions.

I know you think your teens are fascinating, but adults don’t want to spend all evening talking to them. Sorry.

No, she shouldn’t have been a babysitter, but she should have stayed home alone and if there’s a valid reason that isn’t feasible, go into another room with her phone.[/quote]

Are you the OP now just posting in third person because this lack of empathy reeks of OP. This 15yo is in a split custody situation. Of course she is going to want to spend time with her dad just as he wants to spend time with her. All these updates with mixed signals, oh she was boring, pedantic and discussed in depth being a vegan but also she was just lovely...sounds like a troll.[/quote]

Nope, not the OP. Just an adult who doesn’t want to chat ALL NIGHT with your high school kid (and who recognizes that others adults don’t want to spend the whole time chatting with mine).[/quote]
